The Last Word is a pre-Prohibition cocktail first served at the Detroit
Athletic Club in the early 1900s. Check out the history of this classic
linked below.

The recipes I found seem to call for London dry gin, but I tried it with
Hayman&#39;s Old Tom and really liked it a lot. Try it both ways to see which
you prefer.

<hr>

<ul>
<li>3/4 ounce gin (London dry or Old Tom)</li>
<li>3/4 ounce green chartreuse</li>
<li>3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur</li>
<li>3/4 ounce fresh lime juice</li>
</ul>

Combine all the components in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and
strain into a coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel, if you want to.
